Exaltist Ethan. I believe in my own theological beliefs I call Exaltism, and my first name is Ethan. If I weren't Exaltist Ethan I would probably be Earthseed Ethan instead, as Earthseed is the overarching belief system that Exaltism falls under. Plus, Earthseed starts with E and Earthseed Ethan...
I'm pretty certain of my beliefs, and as I believe people work to create synverses, or Gods, they will be able to create the realities they want for themselves in the not-to-distant far future from now. "God is what nature is becoming" and with that, nature will become more Godlike as time rolls...
You don't get to choose where or when you are born, but over time you can change your situations and surroundings and make your life uniquely you. I kind of see the afterlife as the same thing, but only even more so. I doubt anyone is going to Hell except for theistic Satanists, and they'll...
I answered "something different" due to how my beliefs and religion are so different from most people, it's really not either positive or negative, just ... something different altogether. Sometimes I can alienate people with the way I present my ideas but I very much so like the ideas I have...
I will say I disagree with one thing LegalEagle says in this video - the fact that just because you don't know the law doesn't mean you are above it. That would be like killing someone then pleading, "I didn't read the Bible!" Nobody is above the law, even if you don't know what that law entails.
Prayer doesn’t help the outcome of a situation, but it does help the person praying through a situation.
Whatever happens is what God wanted. If you get hit in a car accident and died it was because someone wanted to be in a space that you were currently occupying. And same goes with pretty...
I agree with what I said but i agree more with what you said, so I don’t call myself a Christian. Also, if we are going to make stories up, Christ should be a mason and not a carpenter. There’s more utility out of being a mason than being a carpenter.
Personally I think the right age to transition, if someone need to, is 18+. “I can die for my country but not get a sex change?” But I also think tobacco and alcohol should also be 18+. Consent should be 18+ too. And renting a damn car too! Everything should be legal at 18 except for becoming...
During today’s “epiphany” I felt like I was going to die if I fell asleep. It totally freaked me out. I am not going to make that mistake again. Death is a separate act than sleeping or dreaming and should be treated like such. I’m currently getting rid of all these negative thoughts that...
Jesus is a prime example of human extropy. As a human carpenter and making stuff out of wood he has utility, through his abilities he was generous, he taught men the parable, making them wiser, his sovereignty was through his church and he unity almost a third of the world into one religion -...
You want to know something funny? My largest epiphany I had that was cemented, not counting today’s huge bombshell mistake, was the idea that The Omniverse, Entropy and Extropy are in a trinity of Godhood, similar to trinitarianism but for my pantheist belief system. For awhile I was struggling...
If we kill ourselves in one silly stupid war then the resurrection probably won’t happen. Think about it. Nobody alive to bring us back AND aliens who come looking for us in the far future and discover all of us dead as skeletons and fossils won’t even want to resurrect us, thinking that we were...

I initially posted something like this to Trailblazer privately, but I'd like to express the same sentiments and thoughts over here. In her thread, The Exclusiveness of Christianity, I noted that eventually all humans will have a physical resurrection as we need to do to populate the...
To me, faith is hope. Of course, no two words in the English language are exactly the same, but, when someone expresses their faith to me I immediately assume they hope that thing is going to happen. Of course, this isn't always true. For example, if someone has faith that they are going to...
That is what I meant and if you thought I meant the opposite then it was probably an error on my part.
See, I didn't even know before that Baha'is believed in purgatory. Is that a common held belief for the Baha'is or is that something only you and a handful of other Baha'is believe in?
I...
Yes, there's a lot of reasons that things could get worse rather than better. I tend to look through the lens with pragmatic optimism though. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a YouTube video with a caption like, "Are we near the end of the United States?" Still, humans have only existed...
